A communication from Edwin Pish
was read, in which he asked tho Board
to grant him pc i-mi.-sion to establish
gas works in Palo Alto. He explained
that he would provide coal gas, using
the pipes of the Jones water system,
avoiding tearing up the sti-eets where-
ever such pipe was laid: that he would
have the works in o|>eration in 90 to
120 dais: the price would nut exceed
$3 per 1000 feet, and that ho would
waive the five years allowed by law and
pay *i per cent of tho profits from tho
start. He asked tho Boai-d to take gas
in exchange for water If oxpedlent to
do so. The matter was referred to the
ordinance 'committee for an early report, anil a motion prevailed that when
tho Board adjourn it be to meet on
Saturday, the 12th Inst.
A letter from C, I). Vincent was read

Mr. Vincent's claim within $10, and

could not Be found. He has been
treasurer or San Bernardino county for
a number of years, and is a most
efficient officer as well and a thorough
